    What happened to alternating 3- and 4-stars pvp? Wiccan, America Chavez, valkyrie?

    Even if they don't officially own up to it, I'm still happy for them to shake the PvP order for Pride month.

    Global companies usually have these issues where they navigate a delicate balance of sticking to their values and being able to do business in Russia, China and Pakistan. Disney has had a spat with the Malaysian government recently over Beauty and the Beast and all that had was a suggestion of a gay scene.

    Totally get the fine line they have to walk with other govs.  My problem now is Brigby mentioned Mystique is next.  She could have been slotted in between the 3 4* in a row.  Her character falls into pride month, so she would have fit the theme.  Also Deadpool would have worked too.  Just saying they had options in the 3* tier...

    We just had Deadpool. Psylocke? That could have worked. I'm not much bothered whether it's 3* or 4* events, to be honest, but I am enjoying the (closeted) pride month.

    The Crash cycle is 5 days. We have 65 4’s in the tokens right now, which is 325 days, if they ran them all (they didn’t, since we are skipping a couple).  However, sometimes we get odd crashes like the fan favorites that ran sometime last year.  I’m thinking that the 1 year and 9 month span is actually 2 cycles.  Anyway, we need to get to 73 4’s before it’s a full year cycle to run them all.  2 down, 6 to go.
    Yeah good call.  I miss read my data, I need to sleep more lol.

    I'm personally hoping that the 3/4 alternating of the last few PVPs was just weening us on to exclusive 4* PVPs.  This was one of the top 5 changes I was hoping to see in the game and I'm hoping it's here to stay.

    Hi Everyone. While this is technically anecdotal on my end, I would surmise that these Versus Tournaments are still themed around Pride Month, and it's just coincidental that some of Marvel's most notable LGBTQ characters are 4-Star characters in MPQ. 

    Looking ahead at the events calendar, I believe Mystique is the next featured character, which brings us back to 3-Stars.
    Will it be Identity Theft? We’ve got Stars and Strikes tomorrow (Tuesday) and Scrapper 142 on Thursday, so Valkyrie closes the Season. Mystique as off-season is fine, but a bit odd, since off-season usually isn’t character-specific (with the exception of tie-in for Defenders on Netflix).

    Oh Simulator! It has been two months since we last met. I still remember the thrashing at the hand of 5* Gambit. :D

    It's off-season, so you'll get to use them in one PVP.

    Medusa boosted during Scrapper 142 again? Guess it's a full rerun...

    I'm not complaining, I'd love to get more Wasp. My 1/3/0 Wasp would really like a black cover from somewhere though. Can we change the repeat blue in pvp (Apocalypse also gave a blue) for a black one? I'd totally go to 40 wins for that!

    So why couldn't it be antman then?

    Mystique is coming round quick too, is this part of the unannounced Pride theme?  Also strange to get 2 character PVPs in the off season.

    Yeah, Mystique and Deadpool are due to Pride theme. I think that about does it for available Pride characters?
